bert Osborn and Dr. E. D. Ball who have very kindly compared 

 certain of the species taken by me with types in their posession, 

 and for assistance in the determination of others. 



At the end cf this paper I add a brief summary of the 

 number of genera and species taken, with an index to those 

 which are here described as new. 



Family Scutelleridse. 



1. Chelysoma guttatum H. S. 



I swept one pair of this species from rank vegetation on the 

 borders of the tidal marshes along the Caloosahatchee at Ft. 

 Myers. 



2. Diolcus chrysorrhoeus Fabr. 



One fully colored individual was taken from bushes grow- 

 ing about the Phillippi Mound at Green Springs. 



3. Stethaulax sp. 



One specimen was beaten from the bushes growing along 

 the southern shores of Lake Stella at Crescent City. 



4. Sphyrocoris obliquus Germ. 



Several examples were taken at Ft. Myers and Estero on 

 lank vegetation. These represent both sexes and exhibit the 

 usual variation in color markings. 



5. Homoemus grammicus Wolff. 



Apparently rare. Single specimens were taken at Cres- 

 cent City, Sanford, Sevenoaks and Estero. Mrs. Slosson has 

 taken it at Charlotte Harbor and Jacksonville. 



6. Camirus porosus Germar. 



I swept one example from the parched sparse vegetation 

 in the open pine woods at Estero and Mrs. Slosson has found it 

 at Biscayne Bay. 



Family Thyreocoridse. 



7. Thyreocoris unicolor P. B. 



I took scattering examples of this large species at Crescent 

 City, Sanford, Clearwater and Ft. Myers. These specimens 

 differ in no respect from those we find in the northern states.
